Mini-Lesson
As we read, good readers make connections. We ask ourselves those "layer 3" questions, and we connect those "big picture" ideas to the world around us.
Text to TEXT
How does this compare to other texts you have read? Anything with a similar mood or tone? Anything set in the same time period? Anything that you have read that is the same genre? What about the same "big picture" ideas?
Text to SELF
What connections can you make to your own life? Have you ever been in a similar situation? Do you see similarities between a character and yourself? What would you do? How would you feel?
Text to WORLD
Remember those "layer 3" questions??? Does anything like this ever happen in society? Have you seen anything that reminds you of this on the news? Do you see similar situations or themes in your school? Your town? Your country?
